HEY, I’M ELLYN…

I thought I was going to be Dr. Ellyn—now I’m Ellyn, the Burnout Coach.


I’ve always been a high achiever…and really good at checking boxes and doing everying I “should”. I was perpetually busy, even as a teen.

90% AP classes. Captain of my Varsity soccer team. Club soccer. Musical theater. Choir. Piano and voice lessons. And college was no different. My senior year, I took 4 400-level classes, worked 20 hours a week in a lab, assistant-coached soccer, and taught a 101-level class…

And since this has always been my M.O. in life, I did the same thing when I started my Ph.D., and I hit a wall for the first time. Burnout set in with a vengeance, and as I worked from a windowless lab starting the second year of my Ph.D. I realized I couldn’t do it anymore.

I was on a hamster wheel trying to keep up and failing. I was exhausted.

SOMETHING NEEDED TO CHANGE. SO I QUIT MY PH.D. - HELL, MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE - AND MADE BURNOUT MY BUSINESS. LITERALLY.

Sounds Scary, right? It was.

BUT, I KNEW I NEED TO SWAP STRESS, OVERWORK, AND HUSTLING FOR A LIFE THAT FINALLY FELT LIKE MINE!

Don’t get me wrong—there was nothing “wrong” with life at that time. I had multiple publications. I had just been admitted into a brand new interdisciplinary training program. I was starting to explore a new passion in my side hustle. But, I had hit that wall that burnout is known for, and the mental and emotional exhaustion was real.

So, I decided to trade lab experiments for life experiments and left science behind with the intention of coaching.

But that’s not where the story ends.

After pivoting to entrepreneurship, as much as I loved my work, I realized that they don’t teach business in biology. So, naturally, I crashed and burned again.

I found myself overwhelmed and burned out by my new business, constantly feeling “not good enough”, working to compensate, and balancing my day job, dating 😲, etc. I didn’t know what to do to find my footing as a business owner…

I was determined to slow down. To work less and live more—even in my new business.

SO, I DID WHAT SCIENTISTS DO BEST—I RESEARCHED THE 💩 OUT OF BURNOUT & STRESS.

I experimented and tested until I had a workable, repeatable formula, and as a result…

  • My mindset changed and I stopped fixating so much on accomplishments.

  • Habits became less about doing all the things and more about doing things that filled me up.

  • I created a lifestyle that could keep me inspired, fulfilled, and sustain me through tough times

  • I ditched the late nights and weekends and actually started creating a life outside of my achievements

  • I got crystal clear on the non-negotiables and what the excess was in my life.

AND—YOU GUESSED IT—NOW MY VISION IS TO HELP MILLIONS OF MULTI-PASSIONATE HIGH-ACHIEVERS JUST LIKE YOU.

TO HELP THEM PRIORITIZE THEMSELVES AND THEIR VALUES AND CHANGE THE WAY WE MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WORK AND OUR CAREERS!

So here's your ticket to stop dreaming, stop burning the candle at both ends, get off the hamster wheel, and start creating a burnout-proof life and business where you can work less and live more. I’ll help you create clarity, find fulfillment, build systems that wrangle all the moving pieces of your life, and (finally) lock in self-care you can stick with and that supports you through the ebbs and flows of busyness. Let’s do this!!

xoxo,

Ellyn

ENNEAGRAM

type

I built my entire business around serving Enneagram 3s because, well, I am one! Through and through.

Enneagram 3s have a self-belief that we’re not valued as we are, so we compensate through accomplishment, achievement, and proving our value in the eyes of others. It’s all a competition to be the best and we struggle to value ourselves innately. As soon as I understood this about myself, I was able to start questioning it.

And I started to realize that I am so much more than my work, my accomplishments, and my goals….and that’s what I want for you too!
